    My girlfriends little sister just got an iphone4, Her father got it for her somewhere not sure where. I'm convinced it's a clone albeit an extremely good clone.

    Is there any way i can make sure for certain? It looks and feels exactly the same as a real one. I checked the serial number and it came up as an iphone 3gs.

    Can't get a pic up sorry, It looks the very same as an iphone 4, I'm an android user so wouldn't be 100% but checked online at pictures and the home screen looks the very same. I checked in general settings and it says its running version 4.3.3(8J2)

    But when i plug it into the laptop nothing about itunes comes up.

    Also itunes on it is in taiwanese, And it doesn't look like itunes to me. Plus the sim card is full size are they not suppose to be smaller in Iphones?

    Yeah, the iPhone 4 takes a micro-sim. It's a fake alright.

    Thought as much, It's the best looking one i've seen. How do they get away with this? All the apple branding and everything on it.

    I'd love to see it, to see how close it was to the original. Can you post some pics when you get home?

    Could be an Air Phone, a Chinese knock off.



    One for sale on adverts ;)

    I'll put up pictures up later tonight, I've no SD card in my sensation at the moment that's why i can't now. But their identical!

    Don't think it's the air phone this is only single sim. Came in an Iphone 4 box aswell with all the little books and accesories, Even the mesh cover thing.
